Healthy Living and Cancer Prevention: The possibilities and limitations of a healthy

lifestyle with a welcome adress by VP Dr. Stefan Schwartze

When: Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. – online

Speaker: Dr. Ursula Will, Medical Director of the Prevention Clinic at the National

Center for Cancer Prevention in Heidelberg

Cancer affects us all. In Germany, approximately 500,000 people are newly diagnosed

with cancer each year, about one-third of whom are of working age. The good news:

Based on current knowledge, about half of all cancer cases can be prevented through

personal preventive measures - that is, by adopting an appropriate lifestyle.

The speaker will guide you through the European Code Against Cancer and show you

what you can do yourself to reduce your personal risk of cancer. The presentation

marks the start of a two-year workplace cancer prevention program.
